22-acre lake in Nipissing District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 58 ft. The depth chart comes from Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1963, a decades-old survey (a transect sounding survey). The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
The outline encloses 22 acres, worked by 1 miles of shoreline. With a 1.5 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. 58% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. Call it 0.4 mi long by 0.2 mi wide at the broadest reach. It sits in Nipissing District. La Chapelle Lake sits 1 mi southeast — the closest neighbouring chart.
Early season brook trout use the shallows, holding in 2 to 15 ft. Expect a summer slide to 10 to 30 ft, then a winter hold in 3 to 20 ft. Put Shoreline break first on the milk run — a drop-off near 3 ft that grades prime for winter. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (3 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | open water | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Shoreline break (3 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Start shallow in spring: pumpkinseed sit in 1 to 8 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 2 to 10 ft, and winter fish settle into 6 to 18 ft. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 3 ft of water that rates prime for pumpkinseed in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around the evening and early morning. Throw a micro tube or a sponge spider (fly) until the fish tell you otherwise.
